If you have been following my blog for a while, you probably know that I love birds, and have many bird related stamps. When I saw the CASE-study 100th challenge, and it was all bird cards, I knew I had to join in the fun. This sweet pair of birds in their nest is from Memory Box, and is great for many different occasions. I painted them with my Twinkling H2O's to resemble bluebirds, and added a little bling on the branches, and faux stitching on the edges of the card front. I hand drew the stitching, because I had a little "incident" with my sewing machine several years ago, and smoke poured it, and now I am reluctant to use it! I felt the bottom needed a little something, so I added some music, since they are "song birds". Here's a close up of the birds.

There are rather a lot of layers for the Clean and Simple genre, but there is a little white space on the top layer and it is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much
